Garden days

Given that I had seen most of Montpellier yesterday, I kind of planned to use today to relax and catch up on my journal logs. This is the only reason, for the first time in my trip, that my journal logs are completely up to date. It is difficult to believe, to be honest. But rather than sitting in my room and doing it, I went to the gardens of Montpellier to wander around and find different places to sit down, enjoy nature, and complete my logs. Although this garden was the best place for it, the gardens were pretty disappointing. I stuck to the nicer areas, but some sections were not well maintained with dead bushes and poorly kept soil. Nonetheless, it was a nice change from the constant walking around that I had been doing. After this, I returned to my hostel, went into the communal area, and finished off the changes. The only other thing I achieved with my day was buying the cheapest and most substantial snacks I could for a bit travel day tomorrow. Barcelona is next on my list, and I am very excited to get out of Montpellier and see what Barcelona has to offer. Although it will be difficult without much money, I know I will have more luck finding things to do in Barcelona than Montpellier.

I did end the day by going and seeing the city by night, which I had not yet done. This was a cool experience, too. They light up the city and the monuments with beautiful lights, and people accumulate all around the city for some classic European public drinking. It was a nice way to see the city before I left.Read more
